TfP/ACCORD hosted Mr Jaume Guardans from the EuropeAid Cooperation Office in Durban, South Africa on 12 June 2009. Mr Guardans has been working on the African Union (AU) – European Union (EU) capacity-building project, and specifically, as part of a team that is assisting the AU in conducting a civilian training needs analysis project for the ASF.
Mr Guardans was interested in assessing the role and scope of ACCORD’s work in support of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) and the SADC Region, particularly insofar as peacekeeping capacity building is concerned. A similar institutional analysis was conducted by Mr Guardans and his team with training and research centres in West, Central, East and North Africa.
